Hey! I’m the other Natasha of Seen In The City. Writing has always been a passion of mine, though I find it to be only one of many of my creative expressions. I love to design and create in lots of different ways, not the least of which is in the way that I like dress myself from day to day. I like to consider myself a bit of a charity shop queen/master, whichever suits my mood.
